Reading Can Be Hazardous To Your Health

Eli has gotten into reading in a big way. I mean BIG. Yesterday he was beyond miffed that Ms. Ball had somehow misplaced his Scholastic book order. Today, she found it, and from the moment I picked him up his nose was stuck in his new Clone Wars book. He read in the car the whole way from his school to Sadie's school (he clearly did not get my motion sickness gene) and insisted on bringing the book in with him when we got out of the car to go get her. As we were walking to her classroom I heard a thud behind me and there was Eli, who, nose in his book, had totally missed the three-foot-high stack of cots taking up half the hallway. Yup. Who knew reading could be hazardous to your health? :)

B just got a Clone Wars book at the book fair last week, and same thing-- it rivals only the Lego catalog in time spent reading it.

On the way home from Yom Kippur dinner last night, M & B asked to turn on "their" lights so they could read in the car...
